Comedy Genius: Film Season

Cottoning onto the fact that, for plenty of us, this is the time of year when we really need a laugh, the BFI have swooped in like a knight in shining armour with a whole season of films devoted to tickling that funny bone. For a few months, they have comedy films every which way: straight up, slapstick or smutty, with strands devoted to English Eccentrics, Christmas, Slapstick and Lampooning the Führer.
Look out for Withnail and I (December 28th); Monty Python’s Life of Brian (December 17th & 22nd); Superbad (15th & 21st); and plenty of other humorous films to have you feeling happier than you might be feeling in the real world.
